A police officer has suffered minor injuries after been involved in a chase to apprehend caravan thieves in Preston.

The caravan was stolen from Bamber’s Lane, Blackpool by 3 men wearing balaclavas.  Police were notified at 8pm on Sunday and took up pursuit on the motorway near Preston.  The thieves were towing the caravan in a Mitsubishi Shogun and crashed into the police car at the M61 junction with M6.

The Shogun swung out of control and overturned before crashing into the crash barrier.  The driver had to be cut free from the car by the Fire Brigade.

The National Motorhome Show is to be hosted in Pickering after 12 years at the York Racecourse.  The move is due to drainage problems at the racecourse, leaving it waterlooged causing cancellations of other events.  York Council are now looking at ways to improve drainage. Last year’s show was attended by over 13,000 visitors.

Therefore this years show will be held at the Pickering Showground from September 19th to 22nd.

The Caravan Registration and Identification Scheme (CRiS) was created in 1992 but the National Caravan Club in conjunction with Equifax.  It is a database of caravans and their owners.  Electronic tagging was introduced in 1997.  Every caravan in the database is given a unique 17 digit code known as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

When buying a second hand caravan then you should always check the CRiS number.  This allows you to check the owner is the seller and also tells you if the van has any outstanding credit.

CRiS is available by phone only on 01722 411 430
